"Arsenal scored all four of their goals during a 13-minute period in the second half, with Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli both netting before Gyokeres' three-minute brace. It was a victory that saw Arsenal move third in the Champions League table, one of only three teams currently with a perfect record in the competition. The Sweden international scored his first goals for Arsenal in major European competition, while he has now scored nine goals across his 10 home games across spells with the Gunners and Sporting CP."
"In fact, Gyokeres scored more than once in a Champions League game for the first time since November last year for Sporting, on his way to a hat-trick against Arsenal. And Arteta was thrilled that his striker ended his run of seven games without a goal, and hopes it will spur him on to a hot streak. "Delighted as he fully deserved it. The work rate he brings to the team is outstanding," Arteta told Amazon Prime. "We value a lot of things that he does for the team, and it was the biggest smile on his face, and look at his team-mates. "Hopefully, this is the start of some beautiful sequences.""
